The Museum Pass Program is currently not available.
|
We are pleased to provide our card holders free admission to some of the best museums in the world. This program, generously sponsored by the Friends of the Glen Ridge Library, allows Glen Ridge Library Card holders free admission to nearby museums by borrowing our membership passes.
These passes may be reserved by any Glen Ridge Library Card holder, 18 and over, with a library card in good standing with no fines or overdue material. Patrons must present the Glen Ridge Library Card used to reserve the museum pass when picking up. Passes are loaned for three days, including the day the pass is to be picked up. How to Pick Up and Return Reserved passes may be picked up in the Grab and Go area of the library. Passes must be returned to the Library no later than one hour prior to closing on its due date. Passes cannot be returned in the book drop and must be returned to the staff member in the Grab and Go area. A deposit is no longer required when borrowing a pass. While we will do our best to make sure the information about each museum is accurate, due to the rapid changing nature of museums' reopenings, some information may be different than listed below. You are encouraged to research a museum's current hours, rules, and ticketing information before making your reservation with us. Should you find conflicting or new information, please let us know!
